Chapter 666: The Missing Family of Five
"Sergey, do you know the specifics of the deceased?" Leon asked seriously.
Sergei raised his eyebrows, took out a small notebook from his pocket and said: "The deceased is a man about twenty-five years old, and his specific identity is still under investigation, but from the high-end apartment where he was before his death and the high-end pajamas he was wearing, as well as the undigested steak and truffles I found in his stomach, the deceased should be a rich second generation with good living conditions, but it is very strange that at the scene of the crime, no items were found that could prove the identity of the deceased." ”
"In addition, I also found that although the wounds on the deceased's body looked like they were caused by some kind of large beast attack, these wounds were slightly different from the wounds caused by various large beasts in my memory, such as the spacing between those claw marks was very large, just like us humans scratched with a pair of sharp claws, and those bite marks also looked like they were caused by humans, but humans should not have such a strong bite force."
Liu Xing nodded, and became more and more sure that the deceased in Sergei's mouth and the deceased found at the gate of the manor yesterday were killed by the same murderer.
However, what made Liu Xing feel very puzzled was that the deceased this time and the deceased at the gate of the manor, except that there was nothing around them that could prove their identity, there seemed to be nothing in common in other aspects, after all, one was a black-hearted reporter who took risks for money, and the other was a rich second generation who had no worries about food and clothing.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that the murderers of these two murders are not the killers of the bloody handprints, because the deaths of the two deceased are quite different from the modus operandi of the killers of the bloody handprints.
Therefore, Liu Xing suspects that the murderers of these two murders may be the family in the story told by Alice, who were transformed into ghouls because of a ghoul statue.
But then again, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that there was such a detail in the story told by Alice, that is, the ghoul statue was most likely from Eins Castle.
Therefore, this mod may still have an inseparable relationship with Isabella's brother Gary.
In this way, Liu Xing felt that he still needed to find a chance to go to Manchester.
"It seems that the corpse you dissected today is very similar to the one we handled yesterday, they all look like they were attacked by some kind of large beast, but according to the investigation, it doesn't look like there will be a large beast around the corpse, it seems that this may be a vicious serial murder case." Leon said with a frown.
"Murder? Leon, do you mean that the murderers of these two murders are actually people? Sergei looked at Leon with some surprise.
Leon shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm just talking about this casually, after all, I don't have any evidence to prove that the murderers of these two murders are humans, but I don't really believe that the murderers of these two murders will be some kind of large beast anyway, because the time between the two murders is not too long, and how can a large beast quietly enter the city of London and kill people in a high-end apartment with good security measures?" ”
Sergei nodded as if he didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Okay, these professional matters are still left to Leon, you criminal police, to be in charge, and it's better for me, a little forensic doctor, to deal with those corpses honestly." ”
Leon smiled and chatted with Sergei about something else.
And Liu Xing was eating while thinking about the possibility and safety of going to see Gary.
In this way, the lunch that Sergei invited was also considered a pleasure for the guests.
It's a pity that because they still have to go to work in the afternoon, Liu Xing and others were not able to drink and talk.
At the door of the London Police Station, Sergei said with a smile: "Okay, next time we will find a chance to drink together, I know that there is a bar next to the police station is very good, and the owner is also a retired police officer of the London Police Department, so we go there to drink and have discounts, especially for police officers like Lyon, who have just joined the London Police Department, the boss will give you a direct exemption, but then again, my sister's safety has to be handed over to you." ”
Leon nodded and asked with some confusion: "Sergey, Elsa, didn't she choose to move?" You should also know the situation over there, although there are me and Chris, as well as Miss Wang's bodyguards, but if someone really wants to be unfavorable to Miss Wang, then Elsa is really likely to be affected by the pond fish. ”
Sergei shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said: "I think so too, but Elsa's guy doesn't listen to persuasion and insists on staying in your apartment, and what do my parents say, they are too doting on Elsa, and they can be said to be resigned to Elsa's words, and they don't care if Elsa is in danger over there, so they have to get rid of Leon in the future." ”
"No problem, that's what we have to do." Liu Xing on the side nodded and said.
After separating from Sergei, because it was still early, Liu Xing and Leon bought a can of Coke and sat in the hall chatting.
As for the content of the chat, of course, it was the two strange murders.
"Chris, do you think there's a possibility that the killer was some kind of transvestite and liked to dress himself up as a Wolverine in the comics, and then imitate a beast like a jackal, tiger and leopard to kill people?" Leon said with a big brain.
Of course, Leon's speculation is not unreasonable, because in the real world, there are indeed murderers who will imitate the behavior of animals to kill people due to personal hobbies, or cognitive errors, and also play cosplay when killing.
The most common of these is to imitate clowns, werewolves, and vampires to kill people.
However, these are extreme cases.
Liu Xing took a sip of Coke, shook his head and said: "I don't think it should be, because judging from the current situation, the time between these two murders is very short, and the locations of these two murders are far apart, and the two deceased also lack the necessary contact, so I really don't have a clue now, but fortunately, these two murders don't need us to investigate, otherwise we will have to work overtime every day these days." ”
At this moment, Jill also walked in, but at this time, Jill seemed to be thinking about things and didn't notice Liu Xing and Leon.
However, when Liu Xing saw Jill's expression, he knew that Jill's lunch might not have been eaten well.
"Hi, Jill." Leon stopped Jill one step ahead of Liu Xing.
Only then did Jill come back to his senses and notice Liu Xing and Leon.
"What's wrong with you, Jill, there's something wrong with your expression." Liu Xing said with concern.
Jill sighed, walked over and sat down and said, "Didn't I go to dinner with one of my high school classmates, but I was quite happy to eat, after all, I had a good relationship with her in high school, but unfortunately she received bad news in the middle of the way, her boyfriend was found dead in the apartment this morning, so I comforted her for a long time, which made me feel bad." ”
Liu Xing and Leon both raised their eyebrows, thinking that things were not so coincidental.
When Jill saw Liu Xing and Leon's appearance, he guessed something, "Looking at your appearance, you should also know about this matter?" ”
Liu Xing nodded and told all the things he talked about during the lunch with Sergei.
"That's right, my classmate's boyfriend is indeed a rich second generation, and judging from the time and place of death, it should be the deceased in Chris's mouth, and if I'm not mistaken, my classmate's current job is to work as a reporter in a tabloid, and her boyfriend is her boss!" Jill said seriously.
Liu Xing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, slapped his thigh and said: "I see, it seems that these two murders can indeed be combined into one serial murder case, and we will now check what the tabloids where the two deceased worked before their deaths have reported recently, and we will have a chance to find out why the murderer killed the two deceased." ”
Because Liu Xing and the three of them are all actionists, they just do what they say, and through Wesker's connections, they found out that the deceased who was dissected by Sergei today is named Tom, the boss of "Eye in London".
The name "London Eye" seems to be quite atmospheric, but in fact, it is a typical tabloid in England, and all kinds of messy news are published in the newspaper, so the sales of each month can only be said to be average, if it weren't for Tom's father who is a real estate tycoon, "London Eye" may have been discontinued a long time ago.
And there are a number of industrial companies under Tom's name, so it's not difficult to see that Tom started "London Eye" on a whim, or wants to add himself to the identity of a "media person".
As for the newspaper "London Eye", after Liu Xing voted a successful lucky decision, he easily bought the latest week's newspaper in the newsstand next to the London Police.
Then, Liu Xing and the three of them read the newspaper in the office.
Soon, Liu Xing noticed a piece of special news: the resurrection of the body in the London funeral home!
Regarding this news, if you remove the author's exaggerated rhetoric and brain-opening subjective speculation, it is simply a case of theft of the body of a London funeral home, but because the body thief of the London funeral home at that time cut off the electric switch, and the modus operandi of the body thief is also very clever, there are no clues left in the London funeral home, and the stolen body is still missing.
However, because the stolen body was not claimed by the family, the body robbery did not attract the attention of the London Police Department, but the London Police Department still conducted a preliminary investigation into the body robbery case and found that there were at least two suspects in the body robbery case.
So this made Liu Xing have to suspect that the suspect who stole the corpse was the parent of a family of five who were gradually transformed into ghouls by the ghoul statue in the story told by Alice.
It seems that they were most likely transformed to a certain stage by the ghoul statue, so they now need to eat some special "food", so they went to the London funeral parlor to steal a corpse.
At this moment, Jill suddenly said: "I have found a very strange news here, about the suburbs of London, someone in the middle of the night witnessed a strange monster killing a farm livestock, and someone found a similar monster in the alleys of the city, and the most important thing is that the author of this report is the deceased at the gate of the manor." ”
I see.
Liu Xing can now be sure that the murderers of these two murders should be the family of five who are being transformed by the ghoul statue, and their transformation progress should have exceeded 50% now.
Because "London Eye" reported the news of witnessing them one after another, the family of five may have suspected that "London Eye" was following them, or they may simply want to kill people, so they designed to kill Tom and the hapless reporter.
It looks like the subway serial murder case is about to begin.
It's just that it's still unclear if there is any connection between this family of five and the bloody handprint killer.
At this time, Wesker walked into the office with a report and said, "Okay guys, please put down the newspaper in your hands, because our work is coming, everyone pack up and get ready to go." ”
Liu Xing and the others nodded, and soon prepared to follow Wesker to the police.
In the police car, Wesker began to announce the case to Liu Xing and others.
The informant claimed to have heard a violent argument with the family next door last night and heard the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, and then this morning, the school where the three children attended sent a teacher to visit the home, because none of the three children went to school, and the parents did not call to ask for leave.
Realizing that something was wrong, the reporter went to knock on the door with the teacher, and found that the door of the house next door was not locked, and then they went in and found that the house next door was in a mess, and the family of five next door was nowhere to be found, so the reporter immediately contacted the local police station, and the local police thought that the matter was not trivial, so they reported it directly to the London Police Department.
After listening to Wesker's briefing on the case, Liu Xing reaffirmed that the family of five had become ghouls and might now be hiding in a nearby subway station.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but touch the pistol on his waist, and he was still a little bottomless in his heart.
After all, the Glock Type 17 pistol on Liu Xing's body is still too powerful, and the damage it can do when attacking ghouls is still a bit insufficient.
It seems that he has to find a way to go to the black market to get a more powerful pistol.
Soon, Liu Xing and others came to the scene of the crime.
Entering the home of the family of five, Liu Xing did not hesitate to go into the various bedrooms to investigate, because Liu Xing wanted to make sure that the ghoul statue was still here.
